The picture of the buns with butter won me over and I attempted to make this recipe BUT the buns turn out to be pretty hard..The base on the bun was hard and I was wondering if it is because of the way I rolled them? I know it's being mentioned that rolling the buns is easy but for a newbie like me, it was pretty hard for me to fathom. I had all the ingredients and I know that I measured them accurately.. Can you advise where did I go wrong? Sounds like maybe you baked them a bit too long, or in too hot an oven, or on a lower shelf in the oven? Perhaps in a dark pan? To keep those bottoms soft next time, set the cake pan on a baking sheet; this double insulation helps keep the bottom crust soft. Also, bake in the upper half/third of the oven, not towards the bottom; I'm sure both of these steps will help. And, take them out when they're a light-to-medium golden brown, not dark; err on the side of a bit soft, rather than too hard. Good luck - I know you can make these successfully! PJH
